Predictions for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game and its winner

The entertaining basketball game will be played between the two teams selected by Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James. The two players are captains, which is why they will be able to select their own rosters right before the game.

LeBron and Giannis will have a small draft that consists of all available players. They will be able to pick four starters, while all the other players will be reserves. Due to this, it's nearly impossible to correctly predict the winner.

The All-Star draft will begin at 7:30 PM Eastern Time, one hour before tipoff. Considering that we don't know the rosters yet, placing bets on either team doesn't sound like a great idea. However, if one has to pick a winner, picking Team LeBron would be a smart move.

LeBron James is a fantastic player who's had numerous spectacular All-Star performances. He's been a captain in every single game so far and his record is 5-0.

James is obviously very good at drafting players and putting his team together, which is why we picked Team LeBron to win the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.
